Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 346 Lou Gao's New Work: Soul Armor

In the blink of an eye, March has passed.

Inside Wuhun City, Tang San not only resumed his usual "plain and uneventful" life, but also began to guide the three monkeys (Shen Hou, You Ji, and Hai Zhu) in their cultivation.

Within three months, the three had made up for their deficiencies, especially the Pig, who no longer appeared to have prominent bones but instead resembled a tall warrior. His muscles had also become much fuller, and he was the strongest among the three.

The Rooster was not much different from before. She was still like an old woman, with more delicate control over her skin and a high sensitivity to senses. She could detect anyone who came within ten meters, even with her eyes closed.

The changes in the monkey are not significant, except that it has developed more muscle and its skin has a healthy wheat color.

In terms of defense, it is not as good as the Rooster; in terms of strength, it is not as good as the Pig.

However, in terms of endurance, she is the strongest, and her explosive power surpasses even that of the Pig. Furthermore, her learning ability is the strongest among the three; she has an extremely refined grasp of how to swing her arms when punching and how to control her ankles when kicking.

It's not the kind of action that comes from conscious thought; it's more like a kind of instinct.

Therefore, when training Shenhou, Tang San would wait for Xiao Wu to return and have her help with the training. After all, her sixth spirit ring provided unparalleled enhancement to her nervous system, and one of her spirit skills was called Nerve Net, which could hopefully lead Xiao Wu to the path of "Freedom Ultimate" in the future.

Shenhou's movements are "thoughtless," almost instinctive, while Xiaowu's movements require her brain to control each step. The two can work together to achieve harmony.

The only problem is that Shenhou's strength is too low.

But in Tang San's view, this was also a kind of training for Xiao Wu to control her own power, which could be considered as "reviewing the old to learn the new".

As for Tang San, during these three months, he also gained a better understanding of skin, skeleton, and heart. Together with Electrolux, he made more than three rounds of improvements to the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique, turning it into "Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique 2.0".

Compared to the previous version, the Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique in version 2.0 is more efficient in cultivation, and the conversion efficiency between Qi and Blood and Soul Power has also been improved.

This proves that the integration between "Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Method 2.0" and "Creation and Destruction True Scripture" has increased.

The human body is a microcosm, and the external universe is a macrocosm.

The human body is a microcosm of the entire universe. The cultivation of Qi and blood, soul power, and spiritual power, in a sense, is the process by which human practitioners, imitating the external universe, continuously refine these three aspects in order to achieve a similarity to, or even the same as, the universe.

In this process, no matter what kind of magical skills or secret manuals they are, they are actually just a method to help the human body to regulate itself. The main difference between different skills, apart from their different focuses, can be summed up in two words: efficiency.

Tang San and Electrolux were trying to find ways to continuously improve the efficiency of the three techniques Tang San was practicing, so that they could perfectly utilize every blood vessel flowing with blood, every meridian circulating soul power, and every nerve transmitting signals in his body.

The Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique 2.0 seems more perfect than before, but Tang San and Electrolux both know that there are actually many tiny blood vessels in the human body that are not being utilized and are only passively receiving enhancement.

Secondly, there is the "Cosmic Meditation Method," a technique focused on cultivating spiritual power and even the soul. Tang San would look up at the starry sky with Ilex almost every day when he was studying the path of qi and blood with Xiao Wu and others. Ilex was mainly responsible for observing the stars and conducting corresponding simulations in his upper dantian, and they would discuss it together. However, it is still quite far from version 2.0.

Although condensing the Qi and Blood Golden Core, the Soul Power Core, and the Spiritual Essence doesn't require the fusion of these three cultivation techniques, Tang San knew that fusion was fundamental and was already making preparations in advance…

Currently, further refining the "Jade Bone Golden Muscle Divine Treasure Technique 2.0" by studying the original martial soul is an essential step.

"Third Young Master, we've reached level ten. Can we go hunt spirit beasts and obtain spirit rings now?"

On this day, Shenhou found Tang San in the forge and inquired about the Soul Hunting matter.

Becoming a Soul Master is her aspiration.

As for calling Tang San "Third Young Master"?

Naturally, it was because they had become familiar with each other, and Tang San didn't really want them to call him "Earl," after all, this was Spirit City, and he was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

But he's called "Holy Son"...

Those Spirit Hall personnel were one thing, but Shenhou, Youji, Haizhu, and others often met with him, and Xiaowu and the others got along quite well with Shenhou and Youji.

However, the three of them dared not call each other by name directly, or call each other "Third Brother," as that would be too intimate. So they started calling each other "Third Young Master" or "Third Young Master."

"Alright, after you finish the Soul Hunt, you can all go back to Silver Blue Manor." After Tang San finished forging a piece of seven-patterned patterned copper, he put down his forging hammer and said to Shen Hou, "The next batch of people should have set off as well."

Shenhou nodded: "I have already received news from Zishu and the others; they are on their way here."

"Well, I'd like to ask Chrysanthemum Douluo for a favor: to take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit beasts. The spirit beasts you need can all be found there."

Compared to Tang San and his group, the soul beasts needed by Shen Hou and his group were not so difficult to find; they could be found in the Star Dou Great Forest, and they did not need to be too special.

"Should we ask Chrysanthemum Douluo for help?" Shen Hou's breath hitched. In the past three months, she hadn't seen a single Title Douluo, yet now she could actually have a Title Douluo leading the team.

I can't even imagine!

"After all, my status as the Holy Son is what it is, and I need to make use of it." Tang San asked Shen Hou to call You Ji and Hai Zhu, and together they went to visit the manor where Ju Douluo was meditating.

Compared to other families' manors, Chrysanthemum Douluo's manor is much quieter, but the servants still exist, and it is filled with all kinds of flowers.

There are ordinary wildflowers as well as precious varieties such as peonies and crabapples, but the most common flower is the chrysanthemum.

Upon learning of Tang San's visit, Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly came out to greet him, saying with a smile, "It is my honor that the Holy Son has come to visit my humble abode. Please come in!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo admired Tang San, longed for him, and even felt a touch of worship towards him.

There's no other reason than that Tang San dared to challenge the Pope and even gained his approval!

strength!

That's the only standard by which you earn his respect!

"Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, I've come to ask for your help, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer." Tang San knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't like to be mysterious, and most Title Douluos preferred to be straightforward, so he got straight to the point and stated his purpose: "I would like to trouble you to take the Monkey, Rooster, and Pig to hunt soul beasts. I have already arranged the types of beasts, and I hope Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo will put in some effort."

After speaking, Tang San touched the gem in the middle of the storage wristband and took out a seed that looked like a melon seed. It had golden patterns on it and faintly attracted the energy of heaven and earth.

Chrysanthemum Douluo felt the impact on his own martial soul, and he became excited, asking in a trembling voice, "This is—"

"Seeds of the Qirong Tongtianju (a type of chrysanthemum)".

Tang San revealed the origin of the seed—it was naturally given to him by the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. For it, which had already become a soul beast, condensing a seed was a piece of cake.

This also made Tang San realize that plant-type soul beasts can not only leave behind seeds of rebirth after sacrifice, but can also give birth to other seeds themselves.

Reproduction is an instinct of living beings.

Chrysanthemum Douluo trembled with excitement, wanting to touch it, but worried about hurting the seed. It took him a while to calm down. He didn't ask Tang San how he obtained the seed, but instead asked, "Sage, are you really willing to give it to me? It's just hunting soul beasts, this is too precious."

"As the saying goes, a fine sword is given to a hero," Tang San said with a smile. "For a titled Douluo like you who loves flowers and plants, this seed will only show its beautiful side when it is in your hands. I'm sure you can take good care of it."

"Hahaha!" Chrysanthemum Douluo took the seed, carefully holding it in his palm, reluctant to put it down. After a while, he put it into his storage soul tool and said, "In that case, I will accept it. If you have any orders in the future, Holy Son, just tell me. I will definitely help you find the soul beasts of these three people."

"Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo." Tang San smiled and explained to Chrysanthemum Douluo the spirit beasts the three of them needed...

···

After Chrysanthemum Douluo left with the three of them, Tang San returned to the Soul Martial Manor and began to continue forging patterned metal. He planned to forge a second Soul Imprint Throne within the next two years.

"Big brother!"

He had only just picked up the Clear Sky Hammer when Lou Gao arrived, bringing with him his latest creation: Soul Armor!

Lou Gao had learned about the Soul Imprint Throne, but it was precisely because he knew its power that he realized he could never forge such a divine artifact. Therefore, he could only settle for second best and imitate the corresponding armor form.

Therefore, he has learned a lot about the structure of soul tools from Tang San and Guang Ling these days, and applied it to the connection between the armors to facilitate the flow and operation of soul power, and to shrink and retract it when not using the armor.

The armor crafted by Lou Gao is entirely bright silver, without any exaggerated decorations, but it adopts a design similar to fish scales. It is very light, weighing only three kilograms, which is hardly a burden for a Soul Master.

However, its defensive power is amazing. Each defensive scale can effectively absorb shock, thereby greatly improving the defensive effect. Moreover, because it can circulate soul power, the strength of a soul master will increase by at least two times after wearing it!

Before coming here, Lou Gao had already had it tested. A Soul Master wearing this armor could fight against a Soul Venerable, and even against a Soul Master of the offensive type, he could withstand about twenty to thirty moves.

"An excellent work." Tang San examined it and was amazed by Lou Gao's forging skills, praising him generously. "And the materials used aren't those overly precious metals, so it should be able to be mass-produced, right?"
